In today's complex financial reporting environment, there is an increasing tendency for entities to consult with CPA [Certified Public Accountant] firms other than their own auditors on accounting or financial reporting issues. This practice is called "opinion shopping"–a term that implies that the client will shop around until it finds an auditor who will agree with its position and then hire that auditor. 3, record 1, English, - opinion%20shopping
